Tommie Runz

Tommie Runz is a familiar face throughout the online running community, known for his engaging presence and inspiring journey. He credits much of his growth and success to the communities that have shaped him along the way. From his family and the sobriety community to his local running group, the global running community, and the brands that supported him, each played a part in his incredible achievement of completing all six World Marathon Majors in one year.

Tommie’s story is a testament to the power of shared experiences. He approaches his journey with humility while recognizing the broad impact he’s making. Throughout it all, he honors those who created the spaces and opportunities that have enabled him to thrive.

In this episode, Tommie and I delve into the profound role community has played in his life. You’ll also hear his powerful encouragement for all runners—or anyone seeking inspiration.
